Oh sweet pea, those are way too adorable. And the last one is totally sexy and somehow it is hard to imagine that sweet little thing so wrapped inside her world would become the incredibly sexy photographer she is today. My photography professor used to say that what the eye ignores the camera discovers. True to this day.

PS: leave the ants alone, they do no harm to the peonies and if they bother you, use a jet setting with your hose. But honestly, they are after the sugar from the buds, that is all.
